SLAIN COUPLE'S WEIRD WILL

By ALEX GINSBERG

August 26, 2008 --

They were bitter to the end - and beyond.

A Brooklyn couple slain in their home last month spoke from the grave in drafted last wills, leaving a bizarre legacy for unloved ones they detested in life.

"To my brother who I know hopes to be in my will, well, here you are," chided Mark Schwartz, 50, as he bequeathed nothing to his estranged sibling, Robert, in an unsigned April 2006 draft.

In an earlier version, Schwartz had already left his brother "the sum of zero ($0.00) Dollars," zinging, "I believe this sum is fitting, as you are probably the most greedy person I know.

"With respect to the will dated April/May 1995, . . . believe me, it's worthless, and just in case, I expressly void again," Schwartz said. "You are probably screaming and yelling by now.

But, "Robert, brothers are supposed to want each other to be the most they can be and make the most money they can. You, on the other hand, just sat in judgment of me and were always jealous.

"I, on the other hand, only wished you the best and to win the lottery.

"So, Robert, you have a choice, you can come to my grave site to say hello out of love or piss on me for not giving you money."

Few things are as stupid (and as dangerous to one's eternal soul) as these sibling rivalries and resentments.

At bottom, they are usually based on childish, petty complaints.

>>Schwartz and Petrowski-Schwartz were found shot dead in their home on July 16. Cops said the estranged brother is not a suspect. <<

From what I read, they must have been fun to be around.

They had children, why not just leave everything to them and leave out the venom?

My God.

Unspeakably ugly both inside and out.

He looks like a Jim Henson creation.

There are people who are surrounded by bigots
and know it is wrong, but are afraid to be vocal against it.
These people are going to pull the lever for Obama
and they are not being polled.

"To my brother who I know hopes to be in my will, well, here you are,"

That's like the old Henny Youngman joke: "To my nephew Irving, who keeps asking me to mention him in my will: 'Hello, Irving!'"

Hard to imagine why anyone would want to off these rays of sunshine.

Maybe they saved their special brand of kindness for their children in other paragraphs. Hateful people usually hate everyone...

I was just thinking, they must have a real long list of suspects. Probably anyone that ever met them.

My younger brother died somewhat suddenly two years ago. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of him and regret my less than Christian attitude and actions towards him sometimes.

I hope no one else lives with that regret.

My thoughts exactly. I'm curious if Eleanor Rigby had more mourners than these two.

Having been born out of wedlock, my mother specifically and by name, disinherited me.

Why is this national news?

I think people should be free to create any will they choose without being judged by outsiders.

Gheeeez!

Are there than many wannabe Hillaries out there?

“Hateful people usually hate everyone...”

Exactly and they are not prejudice because they hate everybody equally....

Agreed. They probabaly got tired of all of the gimme-gimmes in their lives, and wanted the last word. In any case, a nasty will did not entitle someone to murder them.

Well, at least we know there weren't any salad forks in the estate.
